Japan's FUJIMI model company, under its "Free Research" series, which has recently collaborated with numerous IPs, announced the launch of a new product themed after "Kamen Rider Kuuga" – the "Free Research Series Kamen Rider Kuuga Stag Beetle Kuuga / Gouram Color Scheme" assembly model kit. The reference price is 4500 JPY, and it is expected to be released in May 2024!
"Kamen Rider Kuuga" aired in January 2000, marking the first work of the Heisei Kamen Rider series and the revival of the Kamen Rider IP after many years. It brought a brand new look to Kamen Rider at the time and laid the foundation for the beloved Heisei Kamen Rider series that would gain widespread fan adoration in the future.
This product's coloring references Kuuga's iconic "Mighty Form" and the auxiliary tool "Gouram" from "Kamen Rider Kuuga". The Kuuga color scheme features the stag beetle's large mandibles, resembling horns, painted in gold. The eyes replicate Kuuga's red compound eyes, while the abdomen uses the silver of his belt. The edges of the red elytra are painted gold to recreate the collar decoration of Kuuga's armor, and the membranous wings are presented in the red of the Mighty Form. When the wings are spread, Kuuga's emblem on the abdomen can be seen. The entire body is finished with high-quality metallic spray paint, showcasing Kuuga's powerful aura!
The Gouram color scheme, on the other hand, uses the actual stag beetle's form to present various details from the show's Gouram stag beetle-shaped auxiliary tool. Gold and black metallic spray paint, along with green gem symbols, adorn the realistic stag beetle model, creating a fresh and renewed image!
